AMAZING !! AMAZING! AMAZING!! GREAT FLOAT,GREAT TIME...Eric you are the best!.... TikiMouse and I had a blast watching the parade,and that grand float from the patio of THPS .... the place looked beautiful! Danny and crew did an outstanding job! It was worth the two hour drive (in the rain)to party w/everyone...Mahalos to the Murphys and Amy for making the night really special. Special Mahalo to Marie for coming up w/some tastey 'mock-tails'....looking forward to the 'real' menu soon...perhaps New Year's Eve? .......'there's always rum just around the corner'

If only Amy could make room in the Hut to keep it forever. Eric you are so talented. We are looking forward to the day we can make it to Palm Springs and to also see the MadDogMike display. So much creativity in the Tiki Ohana. I just can't stop smiling. Thank you, Wendy

The moai is made of white foam board, held together with pins and glue! That may sound a bit insubstantial, but it was surprisingly sturdy.

It's pretty much the largest thing I've ever constructed from foam board. Fortunately it was light enough that one person could carry it.

It was lit from inside by a clamp light with a green bulb.... the seams were the most translucent, so the edges glowed and made the whole thing look like an ice sculpture!

It was an enchanted evening (even without the booze!): The float was truly a work of art, Tikiyaki 5-0 was as great as ever, and the venue captures the magic of mid-century tiki. I'm looking forward to the grand opening . . . and many future nights at both locations!
